The Healthcare Common Prodecure Coding System (HCPCS) is a

levels, or groups, as described Below:
Level I

Association's current procedural terminology, fourth
edition (CPT-4). These are 5 position numeric codes
representing physician and nonphysician services.

shall be used in accordance with the CMS/AMA agreement.

American Dental Association's current dental terminology,
seventh edition (CDT-2011/12). These are 5 position
alpha-numeric codes comprising the d series. All other
